Runway Monday: Off to the Track (PR 9:5)

Oh, Heidi. You’re at it again. On the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway, the designers were asked to create a look for Heidi Klum’s New Balance line to be sold on amazon.com. You might remember that during Season 8, one of the challenges had the designers creating looks for Heidi’s activewear line to be sold on Amazon. Here’s what I did for that challenge last year:

This year, the designers had to make suede or denim part of their looks to go with the sneakers in Heidi’s New Balance line. They were warned to keep fashion in mind; Heidi wasn’t looking for workout clothes.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the New Balance shoes in 1:6 scale. But here’s the first shoe I designed for, made of denim and tan suede:


I dressed Ellison in a blue suede dress and gave her a clunky necklace to make the look more casual and sneaker-friendly.

The second sneaker is made of black suede with wine-colored accents.


I dressed Jillian in a shorts-dress of black suede with a wine-colored gathered bodice.

The third sneaker is black fabric with brown suede:

I chose to dress Heidi in a black suede vest with a pair of brown-patterned slacks.

The overall looks for New Balance:


See you next time on the runway!

Ellison’s beads are a gift from Marika.

  1. I was wondering why Ellison’s necklace looked so familar. Great looks all around. I am extremely fond of the 2nd one… And I bet you weren’t near as ill behaved as certain designers were in PR this week … I was sickened by some of the behavior… but you know I’ll be back next week

  2. Great looks once again, Becky. I especially like Jillian’s outfit! The gathered bodice is excellent! And the boots… LOVE!!

  3. How could you not have doll-sized New Balance shoes? How do they keep in shape then? It can’t be by running around in 1:6 “high” heals then. Even Inch-High-Private-Eye has to run around a lot :).

    I like the third one, even though brown isn’t my colour. The blue one is lovely.
